Louisville, Colorado, September 9, 2003—CableLabs® has hired Jenifer Cistola as Vice President of Go2BroadbandSM (G2B) and Ed Miller as Chief Network Architect, both in the Strategic Assessment Department.

�These two industry veterans are great additions for us in key areas,� said Dr. David Reed, CableLabs Chief Technology Officer and Senior Vice President of Strategic Planning. �G2B is about to take off with the addition of digital video service offerings and with helping our industry with its churn issue.

A CTAM �TAMI� award winner for her work bridging between marketing and engineering, Cistola holds a bachelor�s of Industrial Engineering (BIE) degree from the Georgia Institute of Technology.
